First Class Experience with Dr Tan

WORTH IT
39 years old, 160cm and 49 kg, with 335 ccc Motiva Ergonomix2.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Tan, who is very experienced, high integrity, and a very safe pair of hands. After having 2 kids and breastfeeding, I finally decided to do something about my chest after 'thinking' about it for a few years. After a lot of research and consultations with 3 of the top plastic surgeons for BA in Singapore, I decided to go with Dr Tan. He very patiently explained what to expect and allayed all my fears/concerns with factual information based on his experience (instead of trying to sell, which I had an issue with other doctors). I also trusted him on what size would work well for my frame as I was looking for something enhanced but also natural looking and feeling.

The staff are very caring, very responsive. The clinic itself where I had the operation is also beautiful and very comfortable.

The surgery itself and recovery was much easier than I had expected. I probably experienced only 2-3 days of being uncomfortable (though not really painful). The results have been nothing short of amazing. The size, texture, and feeling are all even better than I had originally anticipated. I am currently 2 months after the surgery and so happy I made this decision.

Thank you for sharing your experience journey. I am also considering doing BA , and also not big the scar opening will be like and healing process. By the way how much is Dr Tan charges for consultation and BA price ?

The scar is along the bottom of the breast and not very visible. It's still there at the moment but will fade over time. I think it's best you whatsapp SW1 on consultation pricing and BA pricing. After a poor experience with another aesthetic procedure I had in Singapore , I decided to only consider the best doctors and best technology for BA, so TBH, pricing was not the key consideration for me.

Hello. How old were your children when you had surgery? And how did you find the recovery with kids at home? I'm booked for BA in Sept and have 2 young children. Would love any tips you could share with me xo

Hi, my kids are a bit older -- 6 and 9. For me, recovery was hardest the first 3 days (felt sleepy and a bit uncomfortable) but i was still able to move around, take care of very basic things at home. I would recommend having someone help watch kids the first 3 days (helper, husband or in laws) as some things might be hard (e.g. closing heavy door, reaching for things, turning on faucet). Also try not to carry your kids too much/long during the first month. After a month or two, i was pretty much back to normal.

Thanks for your message. Really helpful. Ive got first 3x days with no kids so hopefully im feeling better by day 4 like you. Then hubby at home for another week. So about 10-12 days before I should need to lift/carry a child. Wish me luck! Xo

4 months post-op

4 months after my BA, the breast has very much softened and I can barely feel the implant when I touch (only if I cup with some force from the bottom). Dr Tan had suggested dual plane technique for me, and I'm quite happy with the results. I've been able to resume exercise since the 2nd month and have been able to run, lift weights etc. with no issues. The implants feel as though they have settled well and integrated with my body.
